Re: Tryon
This message is from: kngould kngo...@earthlink.net Hi Jo: Actual Tryon property can be expensive, but the immediate surrounding areas (and many still right on the trail systems) are much more affordable. Places like Green Creek, Mill Springs, Landrum (SC) and Columbus are still considered Tryon by residents but without the hefty price tag. Also, nearby Rutherfordton is even less pricey. I actually live in Columbus but for whatever reason my neighborhood's address is Tryon. I am on the FETA trail system still. I grocery shop in Landrum SC (gas is cheaper and no tax on food items) as it is only ten minutes from my house. There is also an equestrian neighborhood that has small cottages and a central barn for your babies; you can enjoy the horses in the pastures and the adjoining trails but aren't responsible for their maintenance!

Houses with property were $700,000 and up. that is not retiree wages. maybe i am not looking in the correct area??? it was sure gorgeous. jo wilgus gavilan hills, ca This is a GREAT place to live if you love horses. Lots of young retirees or almost retirees who can finally afford the time and money to have horses.

Re: Feed for obese Fjord
This message is from: kngould kngo...@earthlink.net I've taken lots of weight off my fjords by taking them off grain completely, feeding only grass hay (Orchard or Fescue) and giving just enough hay stretcher (hay pellets) at feeding time to mix any supplements in. (Usually about 2 measured cups each morning and night).

What feeding regimen do you folks that have had experience with this recommend? She's giving her light exercise but is afraid to do a lot because the mare is SO obese. Taffy in sunny eastern WA where we will begin baling 1st hay cutting tomorrow!

Re: Feed for obese Fjord - allergy
This message is from: Kim Manzoni kim.manz...@yahoo.com Well, I have an appt for my vet to come out on Wednesday for my Quarter Horse. He has been coughing for 3 weeks. At first I thought it was because it has been SO dry here. Then after it rained, he was still coughing. I put him on Farnam's Cough Free and it has gotten a little better but if I stick my ear in his nostril I can hear him wheezing. And when I ride him, his nostrils flare and he coughs. I am hoping that its just an allergy and not something scary bad (COPD, Congestive Heart Failure). But he isnt rubbing or anything else, so am not sure. Just a dang wheeze/dry cough. I feed them all grass hay and Blue Seal extruded pellets. Plus a pelleted supplement. For the obese Fjord, I would take her off of grain completely and give her a supplement so she gets the minerals she needs without the calories. For my one that isnt getting grain, he gets Blue Seal's Sunshine Plus. -Kim in Maryland (hoping that my QH Toby gets well soon and it isnt something scary bad). I am now feeding good grass hay, vitamins and antihistamines. Per the vet, w e cut the cup of pellets and she banged her grain bucket for 3 days... poor Soph... He said she didn't need them, and the scratching seems to have let up. In Denver, so wasn't bugs, fungus etc. We checked. She only started scratching after shedding out. Knocked a panel loose by rubbing on it! Anyone else have summer allergies?
